Strokes
Ardak . Asked 8 years ago
Hi, coaches!
When I watch your videos, I see that you do strokes very easy and flexible.
Do you use power and speed of opponent's shots?

Hi Ardak,
By being relaxed you can actually generate more speed and power because your muscles are allowed to relax and work in the correct way. When you try harder you often develop tension in your muscles and they fight against each other rather than working together.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
